WINDOWS 8.1 AND WHY YOU NEED TO UPDATE REGULARLY
Minggu, 20 Oktober 2013

It is a thing of marvel to me sometimes when i pick a friend’s laptop and I see a lot of applications crying out to be updated. It’s like having some windows open inviting some intuitive hackers to invade your privacy whenever they feel like. But for crying out loud an operating system should not be left without being updated for a long time, whether Mac, Linux or Windows. Application updates are meant to give you the latest security patches and bug fixes thereby making your online or offline experiences as secured as possible.This write-up here will be concerned with Windows update. According to Microsoft, Windows 8 was built to bring a modern computing experience to businesses and to help professionals stay connected to their colleagues and clients from anywhere anytime. The update to Windows 8.1 advances this vision and introduces new manageability, mobility, security, user experience and networking capabilities that will be available later this year – with the goal of offering customers the best business tablets and versatile modern business PCs driven by the most powerful operating system designed for today’s modern businesses. Personally on my part upgrading to Windows 8 took me quite a while but when I did I was happy I did. The reason is not far-fetched; with my daily usage of a smartphone, having the experience translated to my pc was a delight as it made some operations quite fluid.
Notable features to watch out in Windows 8.1
Windows 8.1 will come with some nice features both for corporate and personal use. Only some features will highlighted here and mostly those that will be on personal use.
Tethering
At last windows brings tethering to the PC without the need for third party applications. You can now turn your PC to a hotspot after updating to Windows 8.1 and have other devices tap into your internet connection if you so wish.
Improved
Like it or not bio-metrics as a security feature has come and to stay. Though this feature is not new and has been on previous versions of windows some thoughtful improvements have been made here. Windows 8.1 will also be optimized for fingerprint based bio-metrics and will include a common fingerprint enrollment experience that will work with a variety of readers (touch, swipe). Modern readers are touch based rather than swipe and include liveliness detection that prevents spoofing (e.g.: silicon emulated fingerprints). Access to Windows Store Apps, functions within them, and certificate release can be gated based on verification of a user’s bio-metric identity.
Improved internet explorer
Microsoft says the improvements in Internet Explorer 11 will make it load faster, with a side-by-side browsing of sides (what I call multitask browsing).
Desktop and start screen
For those who prefer the mouse and keyboard experience, you've have not been left out as improvements have been made to accommodate you.

You are interesting in tweaking an app in your system; you know how to do it and you plunge right to it. Somewhere in the operation you are required to put your system in safe mode…maybe you've never heard of it (are you geek or not?). It becomes a head scratching and ceiling starring session, you are stuck. Scratch and stare no more. Here is how to.
- WINDOWS 7- Keep pressing F8 while system reboots
- WINDOWS 8- Type msconfig in search and select safe mode, apply, ok and restart. To exit from safe mode type msconfig in search mode and unselect safe mode, apply and restart

For Mac os, it is called safe Boot and here is how to get there.
- Press and hold the Shift key immediately after the mac starts up. Continue holding the Shift key until a grey Apple logo appears on the screen.
For those who are not so tech inclined but own a pc, it pays to know some basic technicalities involved in your devices. Safe mode whether on Windows or Mac operating system starts the system with a limited number of files and drivers. Start-up program does not come up in safe mode and only the basic drivers needed to start windows are installed. Safe mode is used for troubleshooting with programs and drivers that might not start correctly, or that might prevent windows from starting correctly.

NEW YAHOO UPDATE

With a constantly aggressive update and upgrade across all mail clients, YAHOO is not folding its hands. Yahoo is updating its services across all platforms namely the web, IOS, Android.
The update will include a new theme syncing themes; better handling of threaded conversations, a collapsible toolbar and a new compose experience. The most striking feature in the upgrade for me and I believe so many other users are the raising of the storage limit to 1TB. Yes you read right, 1TB! And that is for all users and that translates to about 6000 years of inbox.
Over all I will say that is a really nice update. It’s Yahoo all the way.
Another notable update in the social media today, is that of Skype from Microsoft. Microsoft has just released Skype 4.4 which is target mostly for tablets. This update offers a new user interface and a better video call quality with better resolution.
What are you waiting for? Head over to Google Play and get this latest edition of Skype.
